Hey it's 2018! This is my yearly update! 

This year I'm definitely back and I'm definitely still sculpting. I'm now living in Hong Kong (and will be for the next 2 years). I have been kind of moving around for the past 2 years but now that I am more "settled" I have decided to go back to sculpting. I feel more relaxed and thus am more able to sculpt. I have already started uploading some stuff, hope you guys don't mind it!

My style has changed due to the fact I'm no longer living in Australia, and I don't have the space for all my old stuff. In the past I was using polymer clay (which needs baking) but these days I've been using more air dry clay, since I just don't have an oven, haha.

I am now really short on space so I will no longer be making random knick-knacks.. most things I will make will be gifts.

Hey, who still reads my updates?

I'm still alive! I still occasionally check DA! 

I just wanted to pop in and say that I'm still alive, and I still enjoy sculpting. In the past few years I've graduated from university, got a job and traveled to many countries. I just haven't had as much time, space or resources to sculpt. 

Recently I was given the opportunity to sculpt something big, a beckoning cat (aka. lucky cat, maneki-neko) for a friend's bar, and I was glad to realise that I still enjoy sculpting. I actually have done some assorted sculptures over the year, and so I hope to find some time to upload them whenever I can. I will continue to upload to this account, just fairly infrequently. 

I hope everyone is well, please comment and let me know how you're doing! :)

Hey everyone! Currently sick so I've had more time than usual to dedicate to non-work related things.

I started an instagram that's dedicated to entomology and my work as a research assistant, it's called antomology. It's a portmanteau of "ant" and "entomology", haha. Please follow if you are interested in learning about insects, especially ants. I'll try to be as informative as possible with each of my posts. :) Also, post if you have your own instagram, would love to follow you!

Also, are any of you interested in petsites? I was hugely into them. :P I'm still a little addicted to Subeta, which I tend to visit every now and then. Anyway, if any of you are a little bored and want to try a petsite, try Subeta! It's been around for over a decade and so it's not really super new. My username there is "Ying", and I'll be happy to help you out with some items or sP if you join. I've been on it for a long time so I have a lot of extra stuff I don't need, haha. Message me if you'd like some help. :) I'm much more active on Subeta than I am on DA.

Oh no it has been over a year since I last posted.

Anyway I am now living in Hong Kong, working as a research assistant in a lab doing what I really enjoy! I was very lucky to be able to find a relevant job to my degree after graduating, especially since it's not in my home country.

As you can figure out I don't have time to do much artwork. There's not much space in Hong Kong and materials are limited.. I'm not sure if I'll be sculpting again, I will definitely try to do it, but even if I do it would be in a different direction, a lot has changed since I started sculpting Pokemon. :)

I hope everyone who has been following me over the years is doing well! If you want to keep up with my real life adventures I have an instagram, it's "heyitsying".

Am I back?

1 min read
Yes I am!

I got back from my extended exchange in Hong Kong in February. Since then I've been really busy with university and other commitments. :P

I don't know if I'll have much time for art, but I will try to keep my DA at least semi-active. :)

I've also been working on this mobile game app, with some friends of mine. It's far from finished, and we are updating it every day. :)
